Tree census, demography, and exposed canopy area data at the Coweeta LTER Terrestrial Gradient Sites, Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory, Otto, NC from 1993 to 2016
The five Terrestrial Gradient sites were established in the early 1990s as part of the 1990 Coweeta LTER Renewal. The original terrestrial gradient sites were 20 x 40-m. In the late 1990s the plots were expanded to 80 x 80-m and later (around 1998) they were slope-corrected by Clark's lab using survey equipment. Much of the Coweeta LTER “core” datasets have been collected from the gradient plots. This study is one of the long-term studies that are ongoing with defined sampling intervals. The tree demography and census study consists of trees census every two years and seeds collected ~5 x each year.
Examining the potential effects of phytophagous insect frass on forest nitrogen cycling at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory from 1999 to 2001
Human alteration of the global nitrogen cycle has increased the importance of understanding the major sources, sinks, and fluxes of the cycle within natural ecosystems. One poorly understood component of the nitrogen cycle in forest ecosystems is the contribution of phytophagous insect frass on soil N-cycling dynamics. This study proposes to investigate the influence of frass on (1) the dynamics of soil N-cycling; (2) the loss of N from the ecosystem via leaching; (3) the slow cycle decomposition of post-herbivore leaf litter; and (4) the overall potential of soil near the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory to retain nitrogen. Red Oak (Quercus rubra [Fagaceae]) saplings will be subjected to defoliation by the seasonal phytophagous insect larvae of the White-Marked Tussock Moth (Orgyia leucostigma [Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae]) and the frass added to the soil in a factorial, controlled experimental design. Soil nutrient concentrations, leachate nutrient concentrations, "soil" respiration, and leaf quality will be measured. The project is expected to increase our understanding of the complex relationship between above-ground and below-ground nitrogen cycling dynamics as well as inform the current debate concerning the relative impacts and importance of human versus natural alterations to the nitrogen cycle.

Elevational gradient in ant diversity in the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in 2005
This study will examine spatial patterns of ant diversity, body size, and community composition along the elevational gradient at Coweeta. The data will be part of a larger study that will examine several gradients in the US and abroad to assess whether there are general mechanisms that shape these diversity gradients. Patterns of ant species diversity are well documented and yet the mechanisms promoting species coexistence among communities are often elusive. Two emerging hypotheses that account for coexistence in ant communities are the discovery-dominance tradeoff and the dominance-thermal tolerance tradeoff. Here we used behavioural assays and community-level sampling from ant assemblages in the southern Appalachians, USA to test for the discovery-dominance and dominance-thermal tolerance tradeoffs. The investigators involved were Nathan Sanders, Robert Dunn, JP Lessard, and Melissa Geraghty.
Seasonal leaf litter mass (2000 - 2010) for the Functional Diversity project, Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory, Otto, North Carolina
The importance of the herbaceous layer in regulating ecosystem processes in deciduous forests is generally unknown. We use a manipulative study in a rich, mesophytic cove forest in the southern Appalachians to test the following hypotheses: (i) the herbaceous functional group (HFG) in mesophytic coves accelerates carbon and nutrient cycling, (ii) high litter quality input and rapid nutrient turnover associated with HFG will have a positive effect on overstory tree growth, and (iii) the HFG regulates tree regeneration with negative effects on seedling establishment due to competition for resources. We established treatment plots in a mesic, cove-hardwoods forest and removed the herbaceous flora (HR, removed twice per year) or added herbaceous organic material (OMA, once per year) for comparison to a no removal (NR) reference for a total of 14 years. The OMA treatment stimulated soil N-mineralization and increased litterfall mass and N content. OMA N-mineralization rates were more than two times greater than both the NR and HR treatments; however, we did not detect significant differences in soil CO2 efflux among treatments. Higher overstory litterfall mass and N in the OMA treatment plots indicated that overstory trees were benefiting from the enhanced soil N-mineralization. Higher overstory leaf mass and N suggests an important linkage between HR and aboveground net primary production even though this did not translate into greater tree basal area increment. We found an increase in regeneration of all tree species with HFG removal, and the response was particularly evident for Acer rubrum seedlings.
Forest floor Carbon & Nitrogen pools at the Coweeta LTER Terrestrial Gradient Sites, Coweeta Hydrological Laboratory, Otto, NC.
This project is part of a larger examination of site productivity along an elevational gradient. Forest floor weights, %C, and %N were measured at each of the five terrestrial gradient plots located along an elevational gradient at Coweeta Hydrologic Lab, Otto, NC.

Microbial biomass at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in 1994
All of the data originated in the riparian watershed (WS 55) at Coweeta. Thus far, all soil data occurred in 1994 - ie. before the rhododendron removal. The summary C and N files are saved by date (year, month,and day). Within each file are data for Microbial carbon and nitrogen. The sample names (ex. C1-1, 0-5) indicate control plot, 1 meter distance from the stream, sample number 1, at the 0-5 cm soil depth, and so on. T would indicate treatment plot and 5-10 indicates the 5-10 cm soil depth. Within each plot (C and T), we established three transects, 10 meters in length, at 1, 5, and 15 meter distances upslope from a stream. Along each transect, 4 samples were collected and each sample consisted of two bulked soil cores, separated by depth (0-5 cm and 5-10 cm). All sampling dates were in 1994, beginning in March. Sample dates were selected to correspond with seasonal changes and occurred March 25, June 16, August 16, November 1, and December 16. Microbial C data is listed as microgram C per gram dry weight soil, followed by an average of C (measured by distance from the stream) and standard deviation corresponding to that average. ND listed in the Project indicates that the sample needs to be reanalyzed or was missing. The december Project needs more work, but I have included it anyway. Microbial nitrogen is listed as microgram of total persulfate N per gram dry weight soil. This is again followed by an average N value by distance from the stream and depth of the soil and the corresponding standard deviation.
Benthic organic matter (BOM) standing crops along the Ball Creek / Coweeta Creek elevational gradient at the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory from 1991 to 1992
We investigated how benthic organic matter (BOM) standing CR varied over space and time in the context of an elevational stream-size gradient. Samples were collected with a stratified random procedure to also study how BOM varied with respect to the major habitat patches within the stream. Habitat patch include cobble-riffle, sandy-reach, and rock. Benthic organic matter was collected efuarterly from streams draining a 9-yr-old clearcut, an 18-yr-old "old-field", a 25-yr-old successional forest, and two reference watersheds at Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina, USA. Samples were separated into large benthic organic matter (LBOM >1 mm) and fine benthic organic matter (FBOM <1 mm). An additional survey of large (>5 cm diam.) and small (1-5 cm diam.) wood was conducted. This study was conducted from 1991 to 1992.
